PASTORAL MESSAGE Dear Brothers and Sisters in Christ, Greetings in our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ! As we now begin a New Ecclesiastical Year, let us reflect on our devotion to the Lord and His Church. Our many ministries will begin soon, as you will read in the pages following, the Autumn provides each of us many opportunities for fellowship and growth in the Church. Please make Spiritual Growth a priority and make the time for the Lord and His Church. I would like to thank all of you who helped in the preparation of the Feast of the Dormition and all of the related events. The worship was truly spiritual and the receptions and the Feastday Celebration were truly festive. It is this type of dedication that allows us to let our light so shine before men (Mt 5:16) that we may glorify Him!!! I am most excited that over 70 people attended the Church tours on that day - let us continue to invite to His house and witness to the whole world. Lastly, I would like to express the love of the Assumption Community to Father Basil Papanikolaou as he celebrates the 46th anniversary of his ordination to the Priesthood on Monday, September 8, 2008. I encourage all of our faithful to attend the Divine Liturgy this special day to show our love and respect for the Holy Priesthood. With Paternal Love, Rev. Father Jon S. Boukis PROISTAMENOS

EXALTATION OF THE HOLY The Elevation of the Venerable and Life- Creating Cross of the Lord: The pagan Roman emperors tried to completely eradicate from human memory the holy places where our Lord Jesus Christ suffered and was resurrected for mankind. The Emperor Hadrian (117-138) gave orders to cover over the ground of Golgotha and the Sepulchre of the Lord, and to build a temple of the pagan goddess Venus and a statue of Jupiter. Pagans gathered at this place and offered sacrifice to idols there. Eventually after 300 years, by Divine Providence, the great Christian sacred remains, the Sepulchre of the Lord and the Life-Creating Cross were again discovered and opened for veneration. This took place under the Emperor Constantine the Great (306-337). In 313 he had issued the Edict of Milan, by which the Christian religion was legalized and the persecutions against Christians in the Western half of the empire were stopped. The ruler Licinius, although he had signed the Edict of Milan to oblige Constantine, still fanatically continued the persecutions against Christians. Only after his conclusive defeat did the 313 Edict of toleration extend also to the Eastern part of the empire. The Holy Equal of the Apostles Emperor Constantine, having gained victory over his enemies in three wars with God's assistance, had seen in the heavens the Sign of the Cross, and written beneath: "By this you shall conquer." Ardently desiring to find the Cross on which our Lord Jesus Christ was crucified, St Constantine sent his mother, the pious Empress Helen (May 21), to Jerusalem, providing her with a letter to St Macarius, Patriarch of Jerusalem. Although the holy empress Helen was already in her declining years, she set about completing the task with enthusiasm. The empress gave orders to destroy the pagan temple and the statues in Jerusalem. Searching for the Life- Creating Cross, she made inquiry of Christians and Jews, but for a long time her search remained unsuccessful. Finally, they directed her to a certain elderly Hebrew by the name of Jude who stated that the Cross was buried where the temple of Venus stood. They demolished the pagan temple and, after praying, they began to excavate the ground. Soon the Tomb of the Lord was uncovered. Not far from it were three crosses, a board with the inscription ordered by Pilate, and four nails which had pierced the Lord's Body (March 6).

.CELEBRATED SEPTEMBER 14 TH To discern on which of the three crosses Christ was crucified, Patriarch Macarius alternately touched the crosses to a corpse. When the Cross of the Lord touched the dead one, he came to life. Having beheld the raising of the dead man, everyone was convinced that the Life-Creating Cross was found. During the discovery of the Life-Creating Cross another miracle took place: a grievously sick woman, beneath the shadow of the Holy Cross, was healed instantly. The elder Jude and other Jews there believed in Christ and accepted Holy Baptism. Jude received the name Cyriacus and afterwards was consecrated Bishop of Jerusalem. The holy empress Helen journeyed to the holy places connected with the earthly life of the Savior, building more than 80 churches, at Bethlehem the birthplace of Christ, and on the Mount of Olives where the Lord ascended to Heaven, and at Gethsemane where the Savior prayed before His sufferings and where the Mother of God was buried after her death. St Helen took part of the Life-Creating Wood and nails with her to Constantinople. The holy emperor Constantine gave orders to build at Jerusalem a majestic and spacious church in honor of the Resurrection of Christ, also including under its roof the Life-Giving Tomb of the Lord and Golgotha. The temple was constructed in about ten years. St Helen did not survive until the dedication of the temple, she died in the year 327. The church was consecrated on September 13, 335. On the following day, September 14, the festal celebration of the Exaltation of the Venerable and Life-Creating Cross was established. During the reign of the Byzantine emperor Phocas (602-610) the Persians defeated the Greek army, plundered Jerusalem and captured both the Life- Creating Cross of the Lord and the Holy Patriarch Zachariah (609-633). The Cross remained in Persia for fourteen years and only under the emperor Heraclius (610-641), who with the help of God defeated Khozroes and concluded peace with his successor and son Syroes, was the Cross of the Lord returned to the Christians. With great solemnity the Life-creating Cross was transferred to Jerusalem. Emperor Heraclius in imperial crown and royal purple carried the Cross of Christ into the temple of the Resurrection. With the emperor went Patriarch Zacharios. At the gates by which they ascended Golgotha, the emperor suddenly stopped and was not able to proceed farther. The holy Patriarch explained to the emperor that an angel of the Lord was blocking his way. The emperor was told to remove his royal trappings and to walk barefoot, since He Who bore the Cross for the salvation of the world from sin had made His way to Golgotha in all humility. Then Heraclius donned plain garb, and without further hindrance, carried the Cross of Christ into the church.

PARAKLESIS The Small Paraklesis to the Theotokos is a service in which we offer our prayers to the Blessed Mother of God in which we ask her to pray on our behalf to the Lord. Our supplications are for health, guidance and deliverance from adversity. It is through her prayers that we are saved, for she is closer to the Lord than you or I, and we know through many miracles that her prayers are heard. Please take a moment and prepare a list of those for whom you would like to have prayers offered - bring the list to the Paraklesis and offer your prayers with the whole community. For those who cannot come, know that the Church is open and that prayers are being offered for all of us. Again we pray for mercy, life, health, peace, safety, salvation, visitation, forgiveness and remission of sins of the servants of God

Η ΓΕΝΝΗΣΗΣ ΤΗΣ ΘΕΟΤΟΚΟΥ 8 Σεπτεμβρίου "Αποκάλυψον προς Κύριον την οδόν σου και έλπισον επ αυτόν, και αυτός ποιήσει". Φανέρωσε στον Κύριο με εμπιστοσύνη το δρόμο και τις επιδιώξεις και τις ανάγκες της ζωής σου και έλπισε σ Αυτόν και Αυτός θα κάνει εκείνα που ζητάς και χρειάζεσαι. Μ αυτή την εμπιστοσύνη και ελπίδα, ο Ιωακείμ και η Άννα ικέτευαν προσευχόμενοι το Θεό να τους χαρίσει παιδί, να το έχουν γλυκειά παρηγορία στα γεράματά τους. Και την ελπίδα τους ο Θεός έκανε πραγματικότητα. Τους χάρισε την Παρθένο Μαριάμ, που ήταν ορισμένη να γεννήσει το Σωτήρα του κόσμου και να λάμψει σαν η πιό ευλογημένη μεταξύ των γυναικών. Ήταν εκείνη, από την οποία έμελλε να προέλθει Αυτός που θα συνέτριβε την κεφαλή του νοητού όφεως. Στην Παλαιά Διαθήκη δόθηκαν πολλές προτυπώσεις της Υπεραγίας Θεοτόκου. Μία είναι και η βάτος στο Σίνα, την οποία ενώ είχαν περιζώσει φλόγες φωτιάς, αυτή δεν καιγόταν. Ήταν απεικόνιση της Παρθένου, που θα γεννούσε το Σωτήρα Χριστό και συγχρόνως θα διατηρούσε την παρθενία της. Έτσι, η Άννα και ο Ιωακείμ, που ήταν από το γένος του Δαβίδ, με την κραταιά ελπίδα που είχαν στο Θεό απέκτησαν απ Αυτόν το επιθυμητό δώρο, που θα συντροφεύει τον κόσμο μέχρι συντελείας αιώνων.

Η ΥΨΩΣΙΣ ΤΟΥ ΤΙΜΙΟΥ ΣΤΑΥΡΟΥ 14 Σεπτεμβρίου Το έτος 326 η Αγία Ελένη πήγε σ τ η ν Ιερουσαλήμ γ ι α να προσκυνήσει τους Αγίους Τόπους και να ευχαριστήσει το Θεό για τους θριάμβους του γιού της Μ. Κωνσταντίνου. Ο Θείος ζήλος, όμως, έκανε την Αγία Ελήνη να αρχίσει έρευνες για την ανεύρεση του Τιμίου Σταυρού. Επάνω στο Γολγοθά υπήρχε ειδωλολατρικός ναός της θεάς Αφροδίτης, τον οποίο γκρέμισε και άρχισε τις ανασκαφές. Σε κάποιο σημείο, βρέθηκαν τρείς σταυροί. Η συγκίνηση υπήρξε μεγάλη, αλλά ποιός από τους τρείς ήταν του Κυρίου; Τότε ο επίσκοπος Ιεροσολύμων Μακάριος με αρκετούς ιερείς, αφού έκανε δέηση, άγγιξε στους σταυρούς το σώμα μιάς ευσεβεστάτης κυρίας που είχε πεθάνει. Όταν ήλθε η σειρά και άγγιξε τον τρίτο σταυρό, που ήταν πραγματικά του Κυρίου, η γυναίκα αμέσως αναστήθηκε. Η είδηση διαδόθηκε σαν αστραπή σε όλα τα μέρη της Ιερουσαλήμ. Πλήθη πιστών άρχισαν να συρρέουν για να αγγίξουν το τίμιο ξύλο. Επειδή, όμως, συνέβησαν πολλά δυστυχήματα από το συνωστισμό, ύψωσαν τον Τίμιο Σταυρό μέσα στο ναό σε μέρος υψηλό, για να μπορέσουν να τον δούν και να τον προσκυνήσουν όλοι. Αυτή, λοιπόν, την ύψωση καθιέρωσαν οι άγιοι Πατέρες, να γιορτάζουμε στις 14 Σεπτεμβρίου, για να μπορέσουμε κι εμέις να υψώσουμε μέσα στις ψυχές μας το Σταυρό του Κυρίου μας, που αποτελεί το κατ εξοχήν "όπλον κατά του διαβόλου".
